I'll be at the World Fantasy Con in Calgary this weekend

Rob even bl urbed my second novel; I greatly admire his work ( Calculating God is one of my favourite books) and the stunning intellect behind it. Joe Haldeman I don't know, but I met him ten years ago last summer in Calgary. I'd loved his work since I was a kid. In fact, one of the first novels I ever read (I think I was in Grade 3) was his Planet of Judgement . I read The Forever War when I was in my early 20s (which was a while ago) and loved the mind-screw of time dilation. So it'll be neat to meet him again... last time a fan, this time a pro. E-Town author Gayleen Froese will be there, and I've read her 3-Day Novel and found ...
